Warby Parker for really bad eyes?

I did get online glasses though, from David Kind, which is very similar but more expensive and higher quality, IMO. I've also tried glasses.com and they were just ok. Costco is great too but don't offer 1.74 high index.

Did Warby Parker give you a full refund, or were you charged for shipping or a fee for return?

My prescription is about -7.50, plus I have terrible astigmatism. Warby Parker was tough for me. I ended up going to SEE in Georgetown where the associate ran around getting all the glasses she thought worked with my face and my prescription. I have a cat eye plastic frame (which covers most of the thickness) and I paid to put nose pads in since the plastic frame slides down my face half the time. I highly recommend it, and it was probably 100 more than you would spend at Warby Parker? I'm unclear about pricing though as I have eye insurance.

OP, I have a similar prescription. -7 in one eye and -6.65 in the other and a terrible astigmatism in one eye. Warby Parker's high index lenses were not good enough. I had to send 3 pairs back and just gave up and went back to Lenscrafters.
